Chapter 1480: Chapter 627: Garrisoning Immortal Castle, HongWu’s Surprise Chapter 1480: Chapter 627: Garrisoning Immortal Castle, HongWu’s Surprise Tiankui Mountain.

Han Yi had a full understanding of his own strength. At this moment, even if he were to comprehend another thousand Tao Principles and break through to the Extreme Immortal Monarch, it would not increase his combat power as much as advancing to seventh-order Sword Control.

As for other Immortal Skills, most were at the early and mid-stages of the seventh order, making them even more difficult to break through.

Only seventh-order Sword Control still held some hope.

“Then, next, I shall concentrate on cultivating Sword Control.”

“Once Sword Control progresses to the eighth order, my strength should greatly increase. Facing ninth-order Void Demons like today, I should be able to hold my ground.”

“And once I break through to the Extreme Immortal Monarch, just a step away from Immortal Venerable, and combine it with eighth-order Sword Control, I should be able to defeat them, even slay them.”

As his cultivation realm improved, Han Yi found it increasingly challenging to fight beyond his level.

For someone like him who just entered the realm of Peak Immortal Monarch to combat a ninth-order Void Demon akin to a top-level senior Immortal Venerable was virtually unheard of in the Immortal Realm, as it almost spanned an entire major realm.

One month later.

Han Yi was summoned by the Boundary Spirit, so he left the cultivation palace and headed for Age Candle Mountain to enter Age Candle Hall and meet the Dao Ancestor.

However, he did not meet Age Candle but Calamity Tao Ancestor instead.

Calamity Tao Ancestor assigned Han Yi a task, which was to guard an Immortal Castle Cluster located at the northern border of the Age Candle domain.

Clearly.

Not only had Han Yi thought of using Immortal Castles to defend the front lines, but the Dao Ancestors and other Immortal Venerates of the Immortal Court did too, and they could thoroughly implement the strategy.

“The boundary line between Age Candle and Void Demon Palace is vast, extending across four Immortal Domains.”

“Along this boundary line, four Immortal Castle Clusters are established, with each pair of clusters requiring an Immortal Venerable to oversee them, jointly resisting the high-order Void Demons from the Void Demon Palace.”

“Facing ninth-order Void Demons, you were not at a disadvantage. With this experience, we are considering sending you to the front lines. Do you have any thoughts on this?”

The tone of Calamity Tao Ancestor took Han Yi by surprise as it was not a forced declaration but was open to discussion.

This left Han Yi somewhat puzzled.

Seeing Han Yi’s puzzled expression, Calamity Tao Ancestor rarely smiled and explained:

“Have no doubts.”

“Your strength is formidable. Within the Immortal Court, only Daoling could surpass you, so naturally, we can’t treat you like an ordinary Immortal from the Immortal Court.”

“Once you break through to Immortal Venerable and truly possess the strength of a Dao Ancestor, you could even sit on equal terms with me.”

“In the Immortal Realm, strength equates to status.”

While speaking these few words, Calamity Tao Ancestor was quite shocked, and with the shock, he felt somewhat numb.

Every so often, Han Yi would surprise with his actions.

Since Han Yi last escaped the encirclement of two Demon Venerables from the Donghuang, only three hundred years had passed, which was negligible to a Dao Ancestor. However, he didn’t expect that within these three hundred years, Han Yi had ascended slightly in realm and significantly in combat power.

Three hundred years ago, Han Yi could fight with regular Immortal Venerable Level Demon Venerables. Three hundred years later, he could even repel ninth-order Void Demons comparable to senior Immortal Venerables.

Such strength, within the Age Candle Immortal Court, was only slightly weaker than the three Dao Ancestors and Daoling Immortal Sovereign, ranking him fifth alongside Wan Chuan Immortal Sovereign, who was at the level of a senior Immortal Venerable.

With such strength, Calamity’s attitude towards him naturally differed from that towards a regular Immortal Monarch; he could no longer offhandedly assign tasks.

Hearing this, Han Yi’s eyes showed realization, and he immediately agreed.

“Rest assured, Dao Ancestor, Han Yi will do his utmost to defend the border.”

He was not averse to the task.

He also knew that as his realm and strength increased, he could not stay safe in the rear forever, calmly cultivating. Instead, he needed to step forward and shoulder more responsibilities.

Unknowingly, he had become a strong figure in the Immortal Court.

Calamity Tao Ancestor was very satisfied with Han Yi’s attitude.

With a wave of his hand, two Immortal Swords floated in front of him, their emanating aura tantalizing Han Yi.

Eighth-order.

These were unmistakably two eighth-order Immortal Swords.

“I’ve heard you have a powerful Sword Formation but only one eighth-order Immortal Sword, the rest are seventh-order.”

“Take these two Immortal Swords for now.”

“Once you ascend to Immortal Venerable and your strength progresses further, I will give you a ninth-order Immortal Sword.”

The Immortal Swords seemed to appraise Han Yi as they clanged softly.

Han Yi, however, did not stand on ceremony, filled with delight. He thanked Calamity Tao Ancestor and used his Immortal Power to directly stow the two Immortal Swords away into his Divine Aperture world.

Afterwards, Calamity Tao Ancestor gave him several more instructions, and following agreement on each one, Han Yi finally left Age Candle Hall.

Before returning to Tiankui Mountain, Han Yi suddenly remembered a question.

“Where did Age Candle Dao Ancestor go?”

Ever since the return of Age Candle, the Age Candle Hall had always been presided over by Age Candle Dao Ancestor, whether it was the main body or an avatar, it was never Calamity Tao Ancestor.

Yet this time, only Calamity Tao Ancestor was present, with no sign of Age Candle Dao Ancestor.

“Perhaps, Age Candle Dao Ancestor is making an all-out effort to reach the Realm of Heavenly Sovereign.”

“As such, he cannot spare the focus to materialize an avatar.”

With this thought flitting through his mind, Han Yi set aside his curiosity.

Next,

he summoned Li Zhengyang, Yuan Hong, and Lian Tingxi, issuing several orders before immediately setting out towards the north.

He moved at great speed; in about a quarter of an hour, he had returned to the boundary line.

And now, the boundary line, compared to what Han Yi had seen a month ago, had undergone significant changes.

Where there had been a mere hundred-zhang-high mountain range, it had risen to form a majestic ten-thousand-zhang range, like a wall connecting to the dome of the world, standing tall at the border, separating two realms.

The mountain range snaked endlessly, its broken areas repaired, leaving no gaps at all.
